What Do I Do?????

[disneyfanz04]

OK very strange situation, but I really don't know whether to blow this off or what to do....

The other day we had a meeting for softball...I am the coach for my daughters tee-ball team. We had to go and pick up our equiptment and our teams schedules...anyway, I was talking to one of the other coaches in the parking lot for a couple minutes...I am friends with him and his wife...anyway, we talked for about 10 minutes and then he left, and I went to leave. I went to grab my phone to call DH and tell him I was on my way home, but when I reached over to get it it was gone??? So I look in my truck cause that's where I put the equiptment and it wasn't there...I am frantically looking all over the place for my phone and can't find it...I thought for sure it was in the car, so I was just going to leave and look in the morning when it got light out. Well, just as I was getting ready to leave I saw a guy getting into his car...so I ran over and asked him to call my phone to see if I could hear it, well I am so glad I did that, because it must have fallen out of my hands and was laying on the ground under my car. So fast forward to today...this morning I get a phone call and I don't answer it because I don't know the number...well after thinking about it, I am pretty sure it is the number of the guy who called my phone the other night for me...so I just called it back and it was a girls voice mail. OK, so here is where I am worried about...\

What if it is some wife who found this strange number on their husbands phone and called it and now thinks their husband is having an affair...I mean I can just picture this in my head...The wife is going to say, "Who's MIchelle??" and the husband is going to say, "I don't know." and the I just imagine this huge fight??? Am I being stupid or what?? I do not want this lady to think I am having an affair with her husband!! Should I call back and just leave a message on the voice mail and see if they call back and then if she says anything I could tell her why my number is on her phone?? Or should I just forget about it???

Sorry this is so long, and thanks for any advice.

Personally, I would just forget about it. If she is a reasonable person with suspicions, she will ask about it, get a reasonable answer, and it will end there. If she is more concerned, she can call you back and let you explain.

Glad you found your phone.

I would call and leave a message, something like "I just wanted to thank you again for helping me find my cellphone. If you hadn't called it for me I might have run over it with my car." At least it will give the woman the whole story and she won't fret about it.

Just forget about it because calling it again, leaving a voice message or not, would REALLY look suspicious. No matter what you say in the voice mail it would look suspicious to the wife or girlfriend cuz they would wonder why you were calling yet again, and going to all that trouble. If they are that untrusting, that they would call a random number that shows up on his dialed calls--calling it again would only fuel the fire.

My thoughts exactly.

I would leave it alone. Calling and leaving a voice mail will only drum up more suspicion! If the wife was really worried, she could check the bill next month and she would see that the call was a one-time thing, and less than a minute. That ought to make her feel better!

EXCELLENT....add to it, that YOU were the woman outside the School(?) (where ever it was you had your meeting) that helped find my phone!!!

Then don't fret anymore. I get numerous hang ups and wrong #'s on my cell and think nothing about it.

Good Luck!!!

Homewrecker!!! JUst kidding, I think it was pretty smart of you to ask someone to call your phone in the first place. I wouldn' have thought of that. I think I would just drop it. Anything else might look more suspicious. Maybe HE called back the # trying to remember who's it was. If she thinks her husband is having an affair, she'll probably call you back and you can explain then.

 

[disneyfanz04]

WOW thanks for all the responses!!! I usually don't get many responses to threads I start ...anyway I think that is what I will do, just let it go...if she calls back, then I will explain what happened. THANKS AGAIN!!!

TIFF...that is exactly why I got so worried, I do not want to be a homewrecker . Thanks again!!!

I think you are over thinking this. I would just leave it alone

Can't you compare the most current unknown number to the number that called your phone the night you were looking for it? It should be in your Incoming Calls or Missed Calls folder.

I do not know how to do that, I have a nextel i265 and it does not say call history, the only thing it has is it will let me see the 20 most recent calls in AND out...once the same number calls again it will only show the newest time, so it is only showing up as today.

 

[Beth76]

You have quite the imagination! I wouldn't worry about being a "homewrecker". Any woman who would let her marriage fall apart over one unknown number on a cell phone is herself a homewrecker. It could very well be a child playing with the cell phone and hit "redial". I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Sorry...LOL...to much Soaps I guess...

So, is the number missing from the other night? If so, then that means it was the same number that called you today.

You'd make a good detective...yes it is missing, so it must be the same number.

A little OT, but a few years ago, we got an email that said something to the effect of:

"DH's name,

I had a great time this weekend and can hardly wait until we can get together again. You're really great! Hope to get together again soon!

Sender's name"

I don't tend to be the jealous type, and DH (who was cheated on by his ex-W) isn't the cheating type. After I read the email (which didn't have either of our names in the memo line, so I had opened it), I called him into the computer room and asked him to explain himself (tongue in cheek).

He was really in shock after reading it and had absolutely no explanation. He told me that he hoped I didn't think anything was going on and that it definitely wasn't but that he didn't have a way to explain the email.

I just laughed and told him that not everybody would be as trusting as me.

Sometime later, we found out what had happened. Coincidentally, someone we know (she works in the same school district and has the same name as DH) had almost the same email address (same first name plus a 1 after it).

She had been helping the woman (who sent the email) get ready for the National Teacher Board exams. When the woman sent the email, she had left off the "1". When she didn't hear back from our fellow teacher (FT), she realized that she had sent it to the wrong address and told the FT about it. She said she was mortified when she realized that she had sent it to the wrong person and hoped it hadn't caused any problems (since the email was a man's name, she figured the recipient would have that name -which he did).

Our FT figured out what had actually happened when I emailed her about something to do with school quite some time later, and she saw the email address and put two and two together. Then she told us about it.

DH was pretty relieved to find out what had really happened. He said he was starting to wonder what he had been doing himself!

It was fine in our case, but it could have caused a lot of trouble with somebody else!

I don't know if I'd make a good detective, but I do like a good mystery! I'm glad yours is solved!

OMG! That is too funny. This would be something DH and I would end up doing... I can see myself just trying to make him squirm...
